Awesome thanks man.Seems my tactics were considered crazy and best at same time.Night surfaced attacks and PD evasion.I love that one video says that many crazy captains would actually stay near surface avoiding the ASDIC since it had a hard time at that depth.I find I get away easier when near the surface in GWX.



From 5:20 onwards.

Yeah its crazy and hilarious at same time.Video says the crazy ones would just cruise right under a merchant while the escorts were going crazy top side.Then when the craziness slowed down they would slowly drift away.CRAZY!!

This is great! Thanks! I am reading the Book right now! Interesting to see the information backed up in the videos. Tactics wise it is another boon for players.

Nothing too educational here but some pretty decent UBoat footage nonetheless,and some of the explosions are awesome.
Try and ignore the bloody music,or simply 'mute' it.I hate why people have to include music all the time on youtube!.

Enjoy.

Here is another one that may be of interest for some of you.Here you may recognize a few familiar faces like ace Erich Topp

And...another one for you all,a nice 5 part documentary

Some of the material may have also been seen in parts of the first video I uploaded,so,sorry about that.
I would also love to get hold of the music that kicks in for the section on Operation Drumbeat in part 5,this would be amazingly rousing as you are moving in to engage a convoy or other important target,so if anyone knows this music please let me know.
Thanks.



Have fun.

I believe that last one is "U-Boat War", which was a three-part documentary put out a few years ago. It is, in my opinion, one of the best documentaries out there and includes interviews with Erich Topp, Otto Kretchmer, and Reinhard Hardegen, Herbert Werner (author of Iron Coffins), and Michael Gannon (author of Operation Drumbeat).

Does anyone know the source of the Battle of the Atlantic YouTube videos and/or the color U-boat videos? I'd like to buy the DVDs if available.

Thanks!
